Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the non-genomic action of thyroxin on sperm kinetic and its probable use to improve sperm recovery after applying an enrichment method like “swim-up” in comparison with the available one, pentoxifylline. MaterialsAndMethods This is an experimental study. A total of 50 patients were recruited, followed by infertility consultation. Conventional sper...

Supported by the World Bank, the Integrated Information System for Natural Disaster Mitigation (ISNDM), including the operational service system and network telecommunication system, has been in development for three years in the Center of Disaster Reduction, Chinese Academy of Sciences, based on the platform of the GIS software Arcview. It has five main modules: disaster background information...

introduction: users of hospital information system know its problems better than others. studying their views are very important and can be especially effective in the development of the information system. the aim of this study was to investigate the users' views towards the quality of hospital information system in the training hospitals of mashhad university of medical sciences. methods: the...

This research proposes the combination of a dual-loop non-organic Rankine cycle (DNORC) with an internal combustion engine to increase the output power of the recovery system by focusing on the increase in the energy input and system efficiency. In doing so, it investigates the strategy of increasing the mean effective temperature of heat addition in the high-temperature Rankine cycle (HTRC) (t...

A Framework for Application-Level Isolation and Recovery Shvetank Jain Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2008 When computer systems are compromised by an attack, it is difficult to determine the precise extent of the damage because the state changes made by an attacker and those made by regular users can be closely intertw...

In recent years, flexible manufacturing system as a response to market demands has been proposed to increase product diversity, optimum utilization of machines andperiods of short-term products.The development of computer systems has provided the ability to build machines with high functionality and the necessary flexibility to perform various operations. However, due to the complexity and the ...

computer-integrated manufacturing (cim), technologies are presented as solutions tomanufacturing organizations, which need to perform well in all customer-related dimensionssimultaneously. in the literature, cim technologies providing such benefits as more frequentproduction changes, reduced inventory level, improved ability of producing complex parts with ahigh degree of accuracy and repeatabi...
